That's interesting. I think WSG is the best BG Blizzard has put out, with Twin Peaks being a close second. To me, they are the best because there is not part of a correct strategy that encourages just sitting somewhere waiting for a fight that may or may not come to you (all the take-and-hold objectives have this problem), and they also lack the major PvE elements of AV and IoC. I have won AV before without getting a single HK, and that's not what a PvP battleground should be about, in my opinion.

The other advantage of a capture the flag game is that everyone instantly has a basic grasp on how you win. Compare this to the constant confusion in EotS about the relative value of capturing the flag versus controlling towers. The simplicity of capture the flag (and the fact that it hearkens to elementary-school field games) means that more than other BGs, it comes down to which team works together best, and to raw PvP prowess.
